This time around Joe Coors, now a Republican candidate for the 7th congressional district, will not endorse the personhood initiative, which would ban all abortions in the state, the campaign told the Post Wednesday.

“After its two failed attempts on the ballot, Coloradans have made their decision on this issue,” campaign spokeswoman Michelle Yi said. “Joe respects the voters’ decision and, for the next 90 days, will continue to focus on ideas to get our economy back on track by helping job creators start new businesses and expand their payrolls.”

They will know by Sept. 5 whether they have gathered the required 86,105 valid signatures of registered voters.

“It’s tighter this year,” Personhood USA founder Keith Mason said Wednesday. “We lost seven weeks because of legal challenges, and so we have fewer signatures than the last two times (about 131,000 in 2008 and 126,000 in 2010).”

State Rep. Joe Miklosi has called on Coffman, his rival for the 6th congressional district seat, to “explain why 70 percent of Coloradans are wrong on personhood.”

“Mike Coffman and other supporters of the personhood measure clearly aren’t getting the message that outlawing abortions even in cases of rape and incest is far too extreme for Colorado,” Miklosi said in a statement Monday.

He also accused Coffman of hiding his support for the “radical” amendment.

“I am against all abortions, except when it is necessary to protect the life of the mother,” Coffman told the Post. “Given the fact I’m running for federal office, I will not be endorsing nor opposing any state or local ballot questions.”

Matt Inzeo, spokesman for the Colorado Democratic Party, said Colorado voters have turned out strongly against personhood in the past two elections and that’s good news for Democratic candidates.

Coors’ rival in the 7th district, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter , opposes the personhood measure. And Coors, although sitting this round out, donated $1,000 to support it in 2010.

“We know that people have very strong feelings about this, and they feel strongly with us (Democrats),” Inzeo. “The Republicans seem to be avoiding going on the record with this.”

Today, one out of every three men imprisoned in Colorado -- and four out of every five women inmates -- say they have some type of moderate to critical mental health need, according to the Colorado Department of Corrections. The number of inmates with mental health needs in Colorado's prisons has steadily risen in the past two decades.

Maybe you've got plans to camp this weekend (just watch out for the mud and, er, snow up there), go for a hike or maybe you just want to lounge by the pool and kick it. Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn't always necessarily cooperate.
